Your Responsibilities

As a lead teacher in Linköping Municipality, you have a permanent position as a teacher for grades F-6 and a fixed-term appointment as a lead teacher. Time for your role as a lead teacher is allocated in dialogue with the responsible principal, but at least 10% of your working hours.

The role of a lead teacher in the school involves working to develop the operations in one or more subjects to increase goal fulfillment and students' academic results by:

• Systematically working to develop teaching based on scientific principles and proven experience.
• Staying updated on current research and ensuring it is used in teaching.
• Guiding colleagues in conducting pedagogical conversations.
• Leading processes that develop collegial learning.

Your starting point as a teacher is to work with planning, teaching, evaluation, and values-based work according to the curriculum. The work is carried out both independently and in collaboration with colleagues.

As a teacher, you view the entire school day of the student as important, and therefore you collaborate with both guardians and colleagues regarding the student. As part of this, the school's and after-school care's operations work together to achieve higher goal fulfillment and create the best conditions for each student. To benefit the students' learning, your own learning, and the operations, you draw on the experiences and knowledge of various professions. You start from the student group you meet and are expected to create varied and challenging teaching. Using digital tools is a natural part of your teaching.

Your Workplace

Kärna School has approximately 600 students in grades F-6, with three to four parallel classes per grade. The school collaborates with Tokarps School - which is the other school in Malmslätt - which organizes grades 7-9. The school is located in Malmslätt, close to nature and about a 10-minute bus ride from Linköping city center. We offer a workplace where we clearly focus on a learning culture for all and where we believe that everyone's contributions are equally important. The student's right to high-quality education is in focus, where a prerequisite is safety and school attendance. The number of teaching staff is about 90 and consists of teachers, preschool teachers, after-school educators, childcare workers, and leisure leaders. Other staff functions at the school include: janitors, administrators, teacher assistants, focus librarians, counselors, psychologists, school nurses, and special educational coordinators.

You Who Are Applying

It is a requirement that you have a teaching license with authorization to teach in grades F-6. It is an advantage if you have special education qualifications.

As a lead teacher in the school, you have several years of well-recommended previous experience in the role of teacher. It is a requirement that you have at least four years of experience teaching in a curriculum-driven school. It is advantageous if the experience is from teaching in grades F-6. If you have previously guided colleagues in pedagogical conversations and led processes that develop collegial learning, we see this as advantageous. Furthermore, it is advantageous if you have experience as a lead teacher or team leader.

In your role as a lead teacher in grades F-6, you need to have a particularly good ability to improve students' results. You stay updated on current research and have a strong interest in developing teaching based on scientific principles and current research. As a teacher in grades F-6, you have the ability to adapt your teaching to the students and allow them to participate in shaping the teaching. You are a good role model for the students and collaborate well with colleagues, guardians, and other contacts in the community that are part of your professional role.

You have good knowledge of the school's mission and are well acquainted with the curriculum (Lgr22) and other governing documents. You have good communication skills in spoken and written Swedish. This is so that you, according to the curriculum (Lgr22), can organize and carry out the work so that the student receives support in their language and communication development. You are responsible for ensuring that each student can use the Swedish language in a rich and nuanced way.
